[AGA-sc] seller rules

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

OK folks.  Let us decide on this NOW.

Scott and Larry note last two conventions have allowed any bidders to get 
in for free, and sellers are charged $5 to sell.  The logic is that it 
will maximize the amount of stuff in the auction.

I counter-propose (actually unaware of the real situation in 2003 and 
2004) that sellers be required to register for the convention, but that 
bidders pay no fee.  My logic there is that we don't want locals flooding 
the auction with crap.  Might be wrong logic, but there it is.

We need a decision on this now.  I have been saying one thing in the 
literature that's now all over the forums, but we are now injecting 
something else into the discussions.  As far as I know, there is no 
hardfast rule that says you have to do everything the way previous years 
were run, so I don't think we should do what we did last time because we 
did it last time.

Please reply with your preferred option, and I'll collate the responses 
and say something official to conheads.  But since Gomberg is now in the 
mix, it will get ugly if we keep contradicting ourselves.

Scott is repeating last year's arrangement.  We are not yet in agreement
about this year's; whether it's $5 or registered attendees only.  I will
send that issue to the board and get it resolved now, as continuing to
post stuff we haven't agreed on is confusing.
